+Mail is an internet library for Ruby that is designed to handle emails
+generation, parsing and sending in a simple, rubyesque manner.
+
+The purpose of this library is to provide a single point of access to handle
+all email functions, including sending and receiving emails. All network
+type actions are done through proxy methods to Net::SMTP, Net::POP3 etc.
+
+Built from my experience with TMail, it is designed to be a pure ruby
+implementation that makes generating, sending and parsing emails a no
+brainer.
+
+It is also designed form the ground up to work with Ruby 1.9. This is because
+Ruby 1.9 handles text encodings much more magically than Ruby 1.8.x and so
+these features have been taken full advantage of in this library allowing
+Mail to handle a lot more messages more cleanly than TMail. Mail does run on
+Ruby 1.8.x... it's just not as fun to code.
+
+Finally, Mail has been designed with a very simple object oriented system
+that really opens up the email messages you are parsing, if you know what
+you are doing, you can fiddle with every last bit of your email directly.
